Second term offers new
role for first lady

The Hill [Washington DC], by Emily Goodin

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 1/16/2013 9:10:47 AM

Michelle Obama is expected to spend her second term in the White House as a champion of the same issues she advocated for in her first, but with an added twist — the first lady could become the most prominent female figure in her husband’s administration. With Hillary Clinton leaving the State Department — and no high-profile woman replacing her or other departing Cabinet members — Michelle Obama, known for her commitment to health and her chic fashion style, is entrenched as the most famous woman in the administration. Her rise comes at a time

The media is honestly going to try to push this broad off on us as a viable candidate in four years. Book it.

#1 is correct. Hillary is too frail to run. And, Michelle has a built in voting block.

She really is the obvious choice for the Dems, since they value style over substance.

Ah, the DNC´s media campaign for President Mooch is starting even before Obama is sworn in for 2nd and hopefully last term. If Obama cannot issue an executive order repealing the 22nd Amendment, expect the Mooch to be spending her time in Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida. "We can´t stop going forward. Barack Obama wouldn´t allow that. Now I need your help to keep us from going back."

first of all, Michelle is Beloved by the Press not the masses. She is a clothes hog, spend thrift(Especially if it is OPM) and loves being on camera. I am so tired of seeing her face everytime I turn on the TV. Enough is enough! I never see an article about Valerie Jarrett who is the most important person in the administration and who was never vetted. BO can´t go to the bathroom without her. This article is fluff.

"her chic fashion style" -- Who writes this stuff. Michelle is a horrid wretch in fashion and style; everything she wears is too small, too flashy, and horribly nonfashionable. I am usually really embarrassed for her and feel bad that we have such an ignorant first lady with no common sense.

Something is going on in the Obama household.
"Squatch" has been eerily absent from the limelight since the election.

Hogwash. I assume that "going global" means she will travel constantly on some vague "mission" in order to spend incredible amounts of taxpayer money on herself and her entourage. She will establish her home at the Hawaii W.H. and "go global" from there.

Save yourself the effort of reading this piece-of-pap article. It´s all summed up in this sentence:

"In the end, what Michelle Obama does next is up to Michelle Obama."

Oh, the gravitas!

Of all the photos I have seen of this woman, the only one where she actually looked good and resembled anything close to a First Lady was the recent Vogue cover. That fushia dress was very nice. The rest of the time she is pictured wearing clothes that look like she either cut up the sofa for dress fabric, or raided her daughter´s closet. Don´t even get me started on the box of kleenex dress she wore to the last inaugural ball. Fashion chic she ain´t.

Slightly off-topic, but I read an excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal a day or two ago about how Michelle Obama could use her very real (and newly earned) influence by moving away from obesity and food to leading an effort to emphasize the importance of a two-parent home for children. This isn´t a black or white or welfare issue, but applies to all layers of society. Too many babies are born out of wedlock, have mothers who have no time for them, are abandoned by uncaring fathers, are isolated from the nurturing environment of an intact family. She won´t do it, of course, because of the influence of the gay lobby, the women´s groups, but it´s a shame. She has a national image now that could be put to real benefit.

Barack Obama is President. Biden is VP. Hillary Clinton was S 0f S and will be followed by John Kerry.

Hegel. Eric Holder. Valerie Jarrett. Et. al.

In the national nightmare that is present-day doomed America, anything is possible.

Except enforceable gun control.

I´ve got some toilets that she can scrub and some laundry that needs doing. But to be honest, I am not sure she´s qualified.

"Chic fashion style"?! With her gathered waist house dresses and tiny cardigan sweaters she looks more like someone who needed to dress from the Salvation Army clothing bins.

A religious group spewing what the owners of One Liberty Place call hate speech against women, whites and gays can no longer demonstrate immediately outside the building´s entrance at 16th and Chestnut Streets, a judge ruled today. The owners of One Liberty Place in Center City Philadelphia filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge. The group is frequently seen perched on Center City street corners shouting at passersby through bullhorns. Liberty Place Retail Associates, which owns the building, has asked the state court to bar the group from gathering in front of the entrance

WASHINGTON — Schoolchildren from New Jersey shore communities battered by Superstorm Sandy will join Michelle Obama for a garden harvest next week. The White House says the first lady will also be joined Tuesday by students who helped plant the crops last month. The New Jersey students are from Union Beach Memorial School in Union Beach and Long Beach Island Grade School in Ship Bottom. Both schools were damaged in last October’s storm. Both also teach their students about healthy eating, which is one of the first lady’s causes. The students who helped plant lettuce, broccoli and various other crops

TRENTON — President Barack Obama will return to New Jersey on Tuesday to survey Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts with Gov. Chris Christie, according to a statement obtained by The Star-Ledger. The visit will mark Obama´s second trip to the shore since the storm hit about six months ago. “As residents and businesses prepare for a busy summer season, President Obama will visit the Jersey Shore with Governor Christie on Tuesday to view the ongoing recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy devastated areas of the coastline last fall," the White House statement says.

Thursday morning on Chris Jansing´s MSNBC show, Politico Senior Reporter Lois Romano referred to Guantanamo Bay as a "really bad political tar baby" for President Obama: JANSING: Lois, let me start with Guantanamo Bay. Everybody knows [Obama] made this campaign pledge the first time he ran. Again to the question ´why now?´ -- was he pushed by the hundred prisoners who are on hunger strikes? ROMANO: I think it just came to another boiling point right now. [Obama] ran on this in 2008, and if you recall, when he came into office, there was a lot of turmoil

There have been a number of new revelations this week in the ever expanding scope of the IRS scandal. However, even with so many developments in the investigation of this egregious scandal, there was extremely limited coverage of the unfolding of this affair in the morning news of many more liberal stations like ABC, NBC, and CBS. In contrast, Fox News devoted almost 15 minutes in their programming on Thursday morning’s Fox & Friends show to enlighten the public of all of the new information in the scandal. The only other station to provide any coverage

Daily Mail (UK), by David Martosko    Original Article

In a long-awaited speech at the National Defense University, Barack Obama claimed that the nature of international terror attacks threatening the United States has changed since Sept. 11, 2001, with ´no large-scale attacks´ on America occurring since then. But his definition of ´large-scale attacks,´ his speech made clear, doesn´t include the 2013 Boston Marathon attack that wounded hundreds, the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that injured dozens and killed four, and the 2009 attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 and injured 30. All those attacks had the potential to leave far more American bodies in their wake than they actually did.

Another major political speech, another Code Pink heckling. During President Obama‘s counterterrorism policy speech at National Defense University on Thursday afternoon, Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin interrupted when the topic turned to the closing of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. “I’m about to address it, ma’am,” Obama said as Benjamin went off about the hunger strike currently taking hold amongst Gitmo detainees. “Why don’t you sit down? But you’ve got to let me speak.” “You are commander-in-chief! You can close Gitmo today!”

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st?

What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest?
